People looked at the stars for four reasons: Stars are simply beautiful. In Egypt and other lands, the seasonal rotation of the sky told farmers exactly when to plant. Astologers tried to use the stars to predict the future. Finally the stars and planets were worshipped.
The evil practices of astrology and star worship came from the Sumerians, and Israelites who did either one were killed for their sin. Read URIM AND THUMMIM for one way God's people knew what to do.
